Read their experiences, in their own words.

What Our Clients Say

Orlando Rivero

SimVisa was truly incredible. From day one, they treated us with respect, warmth, and complete professionalism. As a same sex couple navigating the immigration process, feeling understood and supported mattered deeply; and SimVisa delivered that at every step. They prepared us thoroughly, answered every question with patience, and turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one that felt calm and reassuring. Our approval was smooth, and we felt genuinely cared for the entire time. We are beyond grateful and would recommend SimVisa wholeheartedly to anyone, especially LGBTQ+ couples, looking for knowledgeable, compassionate immigration support. SooYoon, Vanessa, Phelia, and Maggie are true superstars and I plan on recommending them to others whole heartedly should they need assistance in the US Immigration process!

Outstanding Service and Incredible Speed! We had an absolutely outstanding experience with SimVisa Immigration Law Firm in Chicago, particularly with lawyer Vanessa Leong. She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and always easy to reach, making a complex journey feel smooth and straightforward. Most remarkably, our Green Card application was approved just two months after it was submitted! This level of dedication and speed is truly exceptional. We highly recommend Vanessa Leong and SimVisa for their professionalism and successful results.

SimVisa, Venessa, Maggie and Phelia at the firm and of course Soh Yoon our lawyer took great pride in bringing my family together. My husband is here after only 5 1/2 months a permanent resident. It was a very smooth process even in a time of uncertainty. I felt comfortable and confident with this firm . If there were 10 stars I would give 10. They are professional , timely and thorough. Please choose them especially in this time of craziness and chaos. Thank you for being awesome.

If I could give a 100 stars I would' I can't say enough about Vanessa and the extraordinary great job she did with my k1 Visa case and I can't say enough about Maggie the receptionist who always made you feel great whenever you called SimVisa with questions or concerns.. I had two domestics against me from 26 years ago that were both thrown out and I was surprised that the USCIS would want to know everything and all the details about those charges that happened 26 years ago' but Vanessa was 100% right to get all those records and the information from the original police reports so we went through a long process of getting all that information and she was that way about everything , we did not leave one stone unturned ,she wanted to make sure that there was no doubt in our case me and my fiance was drained but the outcome was one that best served us there was never a request for evidence only a biometric test and we were approved.. thanks again to SimVisa and Vanessa and I'm certainly glad I picked her out of five lawyers I had talked to about my case at the time my fiance said why her ??and the reason she was my pic simply because she was the most ambitious lawyer I talked to...

We had a great experience using SimVisa and Ms. SohYoon Atac. We did our research first and were pleased with the firm’s approval rates. The price was fair. All consults were virtual until the interview and the attorney showed up with us. We were approved. Along the way, we were treated well, with transparency about what we were up against. The paralegal was responsive always. I’d recommend this firm to anyone looking for a marriage-based adjustment of status green card.

Sol Mora

We worked with this law firm for our marriage-based Green Card process, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The entire team was very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. They reviewed all our documents carefully, corrected small mistakes we had made, and guided us through each step so we would be fully prepared for the interview. Their communication was always clear and professional, and the fees were very reasonable compared to other immigration lawyers we consulted—especially those offering Spanish-speaking services. Even though our attorney does not speak Spanish, everything went smoothly because the process was well organized and my husband speaks English. Our case was approved extremely fast — only seven weeks from submission to Green Card approval — which speaks volumes about their efficiency and experience. We are very grateful for their work and highly recommend them to other couples going through the same process. En nuestra experiencia como pareja latina, el servicio fue excelente, rápido y con gran profesionalismo. Los recomendamos ampliamente

Simvisa team has nothing but exceptional. I have worked with at least half dozen immigration attorneys over last 15 years but no one has come close to SohYoon and her team. Strongly recommend to use Simvisa for all immigration needs. The team is extremely professional, you can expect timely responses, there is attention to detail that is very important. So much so I think we didn’t get RFE on our case before Simvisa team prepared the application with all details USCIS will like to see. Now is cherry on the top, by far they are also competitively priced. I wish had found they long back. Kudos to the team on doing a great job.

Highly recommend 100% . I and my wife used SimVisa to get green card . The proceed was not easy but step by step SimVisa's teams helped me and my wife to completed the paperwork specially Vanessa who always answer my questions either by phone or email. The SimVisa attorney's fee was not too expensive. Not like another attorney's fee very expensive. Thank you so much for Sooh Yun , Maria, Vanessa , Fresa and other team members who already worked and helped my wife to get the green card. We just came back from home country for two weeks vacation last month. I will contact SimVisa again for obtaining the 10 years green card for my wife in the future.

I had a great experience with Sim Visa in the past year. SohYoon and Vanessa were extremely professional and helpful. They took the time to explain things, offered practical advice, and shared useful tips along the way that made a stressful process much more manageable. Thanks to their diligence and support, my green card application was approved. If you’re looking for a law firm that truly cares and knows what they’re doing, this is the one.

I do not know where i would be without Simvisa Law Firm. They have helped me with my Green Card, Citizenship, and my mother's Green Card. Vanessa and SohYoohn were always available and ready to answer questions, alleviate any concerns we had. They always followed up and made sure everything was perfect. I can at least say from my side that everything was easy because they did all the heavy lifting.

I absolutely recommend Mrs Atac and her team! They were wonderful in helping me get my green card and my citizenship and made the entire process go as smoothly as possible. They got everything that needed to be done together- so much paperwork and documents, and answered all my questions- no matter how small; they would reply right away and that have given me peace of mind about any concern that I had. The staff is absolutely amazing and I would 10/10 recommend

How to Find a Good Immigration Lawyer in Chicago

Finding the right immigration attorney isn't just about credentials. It's about finding someone who will actually pick up the phone, explain what's happening with your case, and tell you the truth.

Here's what to look for:

  • They specialize in immigration law.

    Immigration is its own world. An attorney who dabbles in immigration on top of other practice areas won't have the depth of knowledge your case may need. Look for a firm where immigration is the focus, not a side service.

  • They're transparent about the process and the cost.

    A good immigration lawyer will tell you upfront what your options are, what the realistic timeline looks like, and what it's going to cost. If an attorney is vague on fees or promises unusually fast results, that's a red flag.

  • They have real client reviews — and recent ones.

    Online reviews are one of the few ways to see how a firm actually treats its clients. Look for consistent patterns: Are responses timely? Do clients feel informed? Are there reviews that mention the same attorneys by name? A strong track record on Google is hard to fake over time.

  • They communicate clearly, not just in legal terms.

    You shouldn't have to decode what your lawyer is telling you. The right attorney takes the time to explain your situation in plain language and makes sure you understand what each step means for your case.

  • They've worked with people in situations similar to yours.

    Whether you need a work visa, an employment-based green card, or help bringing a family member to the U.S., experience in that specific area matters. Ask directly what types of cases they handle most. A firm that covers the full range (H-1B, EB-1, EB-2, marriage-based green cards, K-1 visas, etc.) will have the depth to handle your situation and spot complications you may not know to ask about.

  • They offer a real consultation, not just a sales call.

    A free initial consultation should give you something useful: an honest read on your situation, not just a pitch. If you walk away with more clarity than you came in with, that's a good sign.
